Form & Verdict

Improved on his Punchestown debut effort when comfortably landing a Wexford maiden hurdle (3m, good; first-time cheekpieces) on his final start for Liam O'Brien; the second has since boosted that form and he should be a big player on his first start for this trainer.

Some promise in points but put up a fine effort on rules debut in a Punchestown maiden hurdle over just short of this trip; behind some of these then but can be a player with improvement; headgear.

Form & Verdict

Got off the mark at the sixth attempt over hurdles in a Newton Abbot maiden (won going away; 2m5f, good) last month; could be more to come going up in trip again and she's very much a player.

Yet to win a race but sound efforts last two starts, finishing runner-up to a three-time winner at Kempton in March (2m, good to soft) before 7.5l-second to Lily Du Berlais (now 11lb worse off) at Ayr (2m, soft); could go well on h'cap debut.

Flat trainer doesn't have many bumper runners and this Flat-bred 4yo won on good ground at Doncaster late last year and wasn't beaten far in a heavy-ground Listed bumper at Cheltenham on New Year's Day; will need to stay this longer trip but ability is much respected.

Form & Verdict

Completed a summer hat-trick over fences last year, one of them over C&D; has failed to complete in four of his six subsequent starts; back on a handy mark but with a bit to prove.

Cheekpieces were quickly back (in place of the tongue-tie from penultimate start) when fourth of six at Market Rasen 15 days ago, accomplishing a great deal more than on previous three outings; that gives him a chance and he had better form twice last autumn.

He'd be an emotional winner following the passing of Milson Robinson last month, but he remains out of form yet still 5lb above his highest winning mark; cheekpieces quickly return in place of the tongue tie.
